User Reviews

Users praise Pulse+ for quality, unbiased news and the value of the subscription, with many calling it a must-have for news fans. However, the app is plagued by reliability problems: frequent loading failures, blank screens, and videos that won't play or error out; paid subscribers not recognized, forcing sign-up prompts; and ongoing stability issues with repeated logins and reinstall cycles. Reviewers also note outdated maintenance and missing features like background playback and a dedicated mini-player. Overall, content quality is high, but reliability and usability must be fixed for common tasks to work smoothly.

  • Accurate and unbiased source of breaking news.
  • Subscription is valuable and worth the price; many users call Pulse+ a must-have for news fans.

  • Missing essential features and UX gaps such as background playback, mini-player, or offline playback controls.

Update 5-13-2026 still can’t watch Bonus land on the app, simply states “error while playing video”. Fleccas and RRB should find a new app to host off of.
